Team News
Delhi Daredevils might have to play one more game without their regular skipper Zaheer Khan. The paceman injured his hamstring while playing against the Kolkata Knight Riders last week and the team management has not yet revealed the status on his fitness.
Key Players
Sanju Samson and Shreyas Iyer had hit 42 and an unbeaten fifty respectively when the Daredevils last faced Sunrisers earlier in the season. These two have looked somewhat promising among the team's out-of-form batting lineup and so there will be a lot of hopes pinned on them for this game. Chris Morris is going to their best man with the ball. The South African pacer has taken 12 wickets so far which includes a four-wicket haul he took in the reverse fixture.
Recent Form
Delhi Daredevils have endured an embarrassing run in this tenth edition of the Indian Premier League. They are languishing at the bottom of the leaderboard with just four points from eight league matches. Skittled out for 67 - their lowest ever IPL total - against the KXIP in the last game, the Daredevils have now lost their previous matches in a row.

SRH Team News & Playing 11
Team News
The team is playing well at the moment and so the selectors may not be keen on tinkering with the winning combination. The same eleven from the last game can therefore be expected to take the field against the Delhi Daredevils.
Key Players
David Warner has had a terrific IPL this year. The opening batsman played an exceptional knock of 126 runs off just 59 balls in the last game against KKR to become the season's leading run-getter by a huge margin. He will be the Sunrisers' key batter along with Kane Williamson who scored 89 against the Daredevils earlier. Bhuvneshwar Kumar has picked up a wicket almost every time has been given the ball. He is currently the purple cap holder with 20 wickets and is expected to do some damage early on with the swinging new ball.
Recent Form
Sunrisers Hyderabad are going great guns with four victories in their past five matches. They are third on the league table with six wins and three losses from the ten games they have played so far. Warner's boys are high on confidence and they will head into this match having won back-to-back against Kings XI Punjab and Kolkata Knight Riders.
SRH Predicted Playing 11

DA Warner (c), S Dhawan, KS Williamson, Yuvraj Singh, MC Henriques, NV Ojha (wk), Bipul Sharma, B Kumar, Rashid Khan, S Kaul, Mohammed Siraj.

DD vs SRH Head to Head
Sunrisers Hyderabad have won 66.66% of their matches against the Delhi Daredevils in the Indian Premier League. Six have been won by the former and three by the latter out of the nine matches played between the two sides in the past. The Daredevils have never beaten the Sunrisers at the Feroz Shah Kotla before, losing both their matches they have played against them at this venue.
DD vs SRH Betting Odds
Delhi Daredevils are struggling big time to keep themselves alive in the competition and now a hamstring injury to their skipper and frontline bowler Zaheer Khan has made matters from bad to worse. Bookmakers believe that the hosts will sink further and have them as outsiders for this match. They are as high as 2.20 with Bet365 and 2.08 with Betfair. Sunrisers Hyderabad are led by an in-form captain and are looking very hard to stop at the moment. To no surprises, the visitors are favorites to win at 1.79 with 1xbet and 1.66 with bet365.
DD vs SRH Prediction
Delhi Daredevils won both their matches against the Sunrisers Hyderabad in last year's IPL and it could very well be the other way round this time. The inexperience in their batting department was clearly exposed in the last game by the KXIP bowlers and now their bowling will not be quite the same without the veteran pace bowler Zaheer Khan. The team is being led by an out-of-form Karun Nair which is enough to indicate how bad the situation for them really is. SRH, on the flipside, are enjoying their game with their skipper leading from the front. They will be high on confidence after beating table-toppers KKR in the last game and will have the momentum on their side. We thus predict Sunrisers Hyderabad to win this match.
Final Verdict: Back Sunrisers Hyderabad to beat Delhi Daredevils in the 40th match of IPL 2017 at 1.79 with 1xbet and 1.66 with bet365.
